Food waste warriors redirect unwanted produce to homes, charities 🥦 🍞 👷 | ABC Landline

The next stage would be worm farms and soil production. What a great story. Well done to everyone creating these systems. Will anyone employ me to be part of this? Seriously job searching and wanting meaningful work.

We may be teaching a generation that good food does not have to be perfect. This will lead to a generation looking for good food not perfect over refrigerated supermarket food. Well done. Your work will be felt for generations to come

[@nicolejohnson2531]

An excellent reporting story! Thank you

[@ccpljager424]

Most of the food waste comes from the Super markets they waste more than any farm

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

Food waste is part of food it's what happens to it after that matters composting is the solution to not end up chemicals dependent farming

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Good on these wonderful people!

[@Jasmine-i2m]

Sensational effort by all 🎖️ It's so great to see!!

[@keiheaherakiwi1611]

I buy from the local IGA, misshaped sweet potato and spuds, beetroot, pumpkin, carrots it all tastes the same

[@SC-fk9nc]

Great initiative well done!

As a dumpster diver, am I doing my share to reduce food waste?

[@becmercer2573]

100% the supermarkets should leave dumpster divers alone instead of harrassing them

[@Bernie5172]

A great concept/show Prue

[@MikeReggie]

There is and has been lots of lemons and lemon seeds in bins near fish and chip shops, lots of mango trees and coconut trees around

[@rickthelian2215]

I don’t like Farmers Pick savings of 20% but of expensive supermarket prices.. The grower needs to make it to specific for supermarket otherwise they sell to markets And cheaper fruit shop buys and offer cheaper prices than the supermarkets. I do agree not to waste food!😊

[@panjavarnammurthy4800]

Great job!

[@MikeReggie]

Parks and Gardens and Botanical Gardens should have Community Gardens, Public Showers in Gardens so People can Have a Shower, Wash Clothes, Brush Teeth, Wash Dishes while Plants are getting Watered, Caravan Parks, Camp Sites, Housing Commission should be set up like that also, use 1 Tap for everything, have hoses, vertical ensuite tents, solar camping Showers, Canvas Shower Buckets, grow aloe vera, pumpkins, watermelons, rockmelons, honey dew melons, candy melons, corn, pineapples, onions, garlic, ginger, tumeric

[@teganhenke7627]

It would be great if some of these services delivered further afield. We used to live in Brisbane and could get Funky Foods. Now we live in Gympie, we can't get anything except lacklustre produce at a premium price.

I love this message ❤

[@WadeKratzmann]

Don't start pack the products otherwise it's a waste of time. Packing waste produce then creates packaging waste.

[@louisebb4183]

Stop throwing perfect fruit and vegetables in the bin because is not perfect ! We don need any new organisation to pay huge money for doing what very one knows about ! Don’t sale. Half rotten stuff in big supermarket! Why the farmers markets don’t have the problem ?

[@blugirlart]

But no mention of all the plastic packaging

[@pauloquelo274]

Good job...👏

[@lindarodriguez5806]

Macro systems are inherently inefficient, and ultimately destructive.

[@glennjgroves]

Positive and interesting/informative.

[@karenicox9026]

I love the odd looking and blemished fruit and veggies. It looks like my home grown stuff.

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

Compost is the solution

[@kaffir76]

0:20 All I hear is distribution cen-TAH, and the sto-AH 😂😂

[@kellyjordan6440]

Because we as Aussies tend to finish sentences with a question mark. It sounds awful. But that's the accent.

[@saharkhalili5303]

Even with food charities, the charities themselves don't rescue everything. We need more composting, and less middle men. Share "waste" direct to public

[@MandyJane-mt8fw]

food waste bins at homes for the animals for farms freeze the scraps and put in our bins service

[@bottledungdungwekwek]

Legends

[@peacelilym]

Give it to food charities abs nit dumped in a landfill

[@jacquest]

I was excited to learn about this..until about 2 minutes in, when they start throwing around manipulative stats and climate change.

[@mirakarchitect7945]

Hmm.. Humanity, we are even picky with food, because of some aesthetics; isn't the taste, nutrients and satisfaction what you really really need? Dear Lord have mercy. Send me those so called 'imperfect ones' I'll turn them into Gold. Thank you WASTE WARRIORS!🙌🏽❤️

Black soldier flies farming is next

[@janramonmartin]

There is no such thing as food waste, food is easily biodegradable and renewable - the issue is the oil wasted fertilizing, harvesting and transporting food that consumers are unwilling to pay for - this is something that the very smart actuarials who work for coles and woolies have optimized. What if there was no oil being used? Food "waste" wouldn't matter at all would it?

[@energetic.cleaning]

There could be another solution, the carnivore diet 🥓🍖🥩🍝🧆 🤷‍♀️🤣
